She stood beside me while gave an order for

She shuddered when said: "And put bright

And cutting were her comments upon world

She spoke about the helpless birds we wick
eGly were herming;
She quoted statistics, and they really were
alarming
She said God made His little birds TO sing il
trees and skies;
And there was pathos in her speaking, and
tears were in her eyes.

find lovely things
Enough TO trim your hats" she said, without

Her well-appointed table groaned beneath the
ample spread;
Course followed appetizing course, and hun

And then my charming hostess cried: ''Do

Ior they're so delicate and sweet at this time

Starting a Balky Horse.

Ofcourse a Boston driver has brains,
and the following, from the Boston
Journal, tells how one used them on a
recent occasion:
A heaviiy-loade1 sleigh was stuck
on a car track in Scollav square. The
street was badly blocked in conse-
uuence, and q crowd gathered as usual,
The horse pulled well, but he could
not move the load. The crowd shout
ed and offered all sorts OF advice.
"Why don't you whip him?' one
man asked, and at the same time he
lifted whip and was about to ply it
round the animals legs. The horsu
had become very restless and pranced
about without pulling effectively.
Don't you strike that horse,' tho
driver shouted. I've driven this ami
NAL u good many years and know
just what he can do. have never
struck him with q whip, and don't in
tend to now If you fellows will only
stop your confounded yelling the
horse will be alright. He is so frighten-
ed that he doesn't know what to dc"
Patrolman Ruby quieted the crowd,
and in few minutes the horse Gained
down. Then the driver stroked his
head and said in q quiet tone: Come,
John, it's all right now" The horse
made another effort and succeeded in
clearing the track.

Right Breathing.

Breathing through the open mouth
is practised for the most part only
by "civilized' men. The aborigines
Of our country, and savage tribes
elsewhere, always keep the mouth
tightly closed and breathe through
the nostrils.
Nature is wiser teacher than
fashion, for the primitive method OF
breathing is the best one on every
principle of hygiene. There is danger
of severe injury to the bronchial
tubes and to the delicate vessels OF
the lungs, in passing from the
warm air OF house to an atmosphere
in the neighborhood of zero, if the
air Is taken directly into the lungs
By passing it through the nostriis
the chill is removed, and the shock
from the sudden change escaped.
Lieut.. Schwa.ka said that in the
most intense cold oIthe Arctic regions.
one must usually breathe through
the mouth.
Ii the modern germ theory of the
origin of infectious diseases is true,
breathing through the nostrils is one
OF natures safeguards. The hairs,
which line the entrance to the nos
trils, may arrest the germs floating
in the air and prevent their passage
to the lungs, and consequent alb
sorption by the blood. Parents
ought to teach their children early to
breathe only through the nostrils.-
Youths Communion.
Morris tribune., 1887-01-26
Poverty of Statesmen.

Public life in this country is so alb
sorbing that American public men
are much oftener poor than wealthy
Not many have the gift ofmoney max
ing, and the calls upon their means
are great. The Washington CORE.
spondent of the New York Herald
says:
Stanton, the great war secretary,
who might easily have accumulated
millions in his place, spent part of his
moderate private accumulations dur.
ing the high priced war times, and left
his family with very small means. Mr..
Lincoln once, in the last year OF his
presidency, told a personal friend with
great satisfaction that he had always
been careful with his money, and be-
lieved he should be worth as much as
$4,000 at the close of his term. He
thought that very handsome sum
of money.
Chief Justice Taney's family was
left poor. There is employed in the
treasury department lady who from
the window near her desk looks out on
the White House grounds, in which
she played as a child-the favorite
grandchild of a president. She was
born in the White House and is now a
government clerk.
There are good many very wealthy
men in congress, but much the greater
number of members of both houses are
poor-honorably poor-and many OF
the ablest men who have served In
congress for years live quietly in OBJ,
scure quarters or in hotels and bear
the inconvenience of life with honora'
BILE contentment and just pride.
Morris tribune., 1887-01-26
Girls Who Went to War.

An Old Army Surgeon, in Chicago Ledger.
knew q girl who, at the beginning
OF the war was so filled with patriot,
ism, and so weighed down by q sense
OF duty, so carried away by an adven,
turous impulse that she followed the
squad Of boys who had enlisted in her
neighborhood, and dressing as q boy
enlisted in the company that was
forming in the county town. Her
friends, discovering the long hair cut
rom her head, and the clothing she had
thrown off in her fathers barn, gave
immediate pursuit. AS they were
driving into the city, they saw walking
along the sidewalk smoking a cigar a
young fellow who had the same sort OF
face as the girl they were in pursuit of.
They stopped and accosted the young
fellow, and were treated to such show
err of epithets and such an exhibition
of bravado that they admitted their
mistake and apologized for it. An
hour later one of the party found the
same young fellow deathly sick from
smoking the cigar. He called him by
the girls name, and found that after
all the young fellow who had done such
hard swearing was the girl they were
looking for. She was taken home, and
afterward entered the service as a hos
pital nurse. In the last year OF the
war found her again in mems clothing
crying as only broken-hearted WON,
an can cry over light-haired man
shot dead in the charge OF Resaca.
She cared nothing then for exposure,
and went home in q widows dress.
Another girl, | remember, had a
pleasanter experience. l was the ex,
sbmining surgeon at one of the recruit
ing camps early in the war, and on
one occasion as | passed down the
line of O. company formed in open or
der for muster and inspection, l no.
ticed as the hands were held out one
set that to my practiced eye belonged
to woman. said nothing at the
time, but after consultation with the
Colonel had the recruit with the femi-
nine hands brought to headquarters.
The bright-looking soldier admitted
in two minutes that she was woman,
and in two days she was at home. A
year after that Twas at ball in Wash
ington. AS I stood d little aside from
the main party, wishing that was in
front with the army, young lady
came toward me, bowed with exagger'
ated stiffness, and as she straitened
up went through the motions of obey;
ing the order: Eyes right" She offer.
ed me her hand, and thanked me for
something that she supposed had
done, and walked away. She was
pretty enough to be the belle of the oc,
casion, and saw that she took con,
siderable delight in my confusion Of
mind, all of which 1 understood later
when / learned that she was my recruit
with the lady-like hands. She after
ward told me that she owed me q
debt of gratitude for stepping in at
the right time to break down her ro'
mantle notions.

Combines Wifa's Praise.

When Rosco Conkling left the Senate
ne was hardened among other things
by friend whose note he had endorsed
for $50, 900, and the friend failed. Sen.
ator Conkling, at great sacratice, raised
the amount and took up the note.
Mr.. Conkline told friend not long
since that this debt drew out of him q
need of praise which he cherished be-
yond anything that has ever been spok-
en- of him. Said hc
"Ms wife wrote to me incidentally
that she had heard that had Endorsed
note for this friend who had failed to
the extent of $4,000. She said that
she d:sbe!ieved the story, and merely
mentioned it that l might know the
tn ngS that were being said. My reply
to her was that the report was some
what in error, because instead of $780,
900 it was $4,000, for which | had be-
come responsible, but said to her that
had no regrets for it, as he was my
friend, and that if had it to do over
again the Endorsement would be giver
second time, as cheerfully as the first
time. because knew that under a re-
versal of positions between myself and
my friend he would do as much for me-

it was in few words and summed NY

The Horrors of st. Lazare.

A Paris correspondent gives de-
scription of the loathsome st. Lazare
prison, the infamous place i'll which
Lord Colin Campbell sought to have
his wife imprisoned, and tells OF the
case OF the unfortunate Comtesse de
c., lovely and noble woman, who
at the instigation OF a certain prince
whose advances she had repulsed, was
seized and committed to tho police
station, where she spent the night
with a number Of the most degraded
specimens OF womanhood. The next
morning, on being landed in the st.
LaZare prison, she was at length able
to speak to the prison surgeon, but
not before she had been submitted to
the nameless indignities inflicted on
thewomen OF bad reputation when they
first arrive at the prison. OF course,
she was Immediately liberated with
the most profuse apologies. Finding
her way home she got into the house,
locked herself up in her room, and
after writing letter to her husband.
who was asleep in the adjoining room,
explaining what had taken place, she
seized a small revolver on her man
teIpiece, and minute later pistol
shot rang through the house. One
door being burst open the comtesse
was found lying dead on the floor, the
letter on the table stating that after
the horrible indignities to which she
had been subjected her name was
everlastingly branded with infamy
and that she feft herself incapable Of
ever looking into the face OF her be-
loved husband or children again.
